RIO KOSTA
Prepare for a sun-soaked sonic adventure with RIO KOSTA, the dynamic LA duo of Mike Del Rio and Kosta Galanopoulos, bringing their genre-defying vibes to Austin!
Catch them live at the intimate 3TEN Austin City Limits Live venue, where their debut album Unicorn—a glorious mix of 70s grooves, soaring harmonies, and global flavors from Greek, Bahamian, Spanish, Italian, and Puerto Rican roots—comes alive. Recorded in their quirky 'Hotel Havana' studio, this music embodies endless creativity and eternal childhood, blending old-world charm with fresh, borderless energy.
Expect hyper-cool rhythms, dreamlike jams like 'Unicorn' and 'Ancients' (sampling a '70s Greek folk tape!), and a performance that feels like a cosmic beach party. These session pros turned bandmates met at a festival, bonded over shared vibes, and now deliver feel-good, high-frequency tunes perfect for losing yourself in the music.
- Hyper-cool indie/alt grooves with Tame Impala and Khruangbin echoes
- Live energy from two multi-instrumentalists who live for the stage
- A night of positive, celebratory sounds that cross all borders
